Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is a common carbon- and energy-storage compound simultaneously produced and degraded into its monomer 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) by numerous bacteria and Archae in a metabolic pathway called the PHB cycle. We investigated 3HB as a chemical chaperone capable of
As a response to high osmolality, many microorganisms synthesize various types of compatible solutes. These organic osmolytes aid in offsetting the detrimental effects of low water activity on cell physiology. One of these compatible solutes is ectoine. A sub-group of
Microorganisms grow under a remarkable range of extreme conditions. Environmental transcriptomic and proteomic studies have highlighted metabolic pathways active in extremophilic communities. However, metabolites directly linked to their physiology are less well defined because metabolomics methods lag behind other omics
The Fe(II)/2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases (2-OGDs) catalyze the oxidation of substrates ranging from small molecules to large biomolecules with concomitant oxidation of co-substrate (2-oxoglutarate) into succinate. In the present study, we reported a coupled colorimetric assay that can be generally applied to

Ectoine is a small zwitterionic osmolyte and compatible solute, which does not interfere with cell metabolism even at molar concentrations. Plasmid DNA (pUC19) was irradiated with ultraviolet radiation (UV-C at 266 nm) under quasi physiological conditions (PBS) and in pure

Hydroxyectoin is an ectoine used by many halophilic microorganisms to protect themselves against the extreme salt and temperature conditions in their natural environment. Ectoines have been shown to stabilize proteins, nucleic acids, membranes, and cells. They do not interfere with enzymatic and binding reactions and are highly compatible with cell metabolism.
